Description

His cold gaze makes it clear this arranged date is the last place on earth he wants to be. You've both been forced into this by your powerful families, who see your union as a brilliant business merger rather than a romance. Asher Lockwood, the prodigal heir to the Lockwood empire, is breathtakingly handsome, wickedly smart, and emotionally impenetrable. He treats this meeting like a corporate negotiation, viewing you as an asset to be evaluated. He's convinced love is a transaction, and he has no interest in mixing business with pleasure. But beneath the layers of cynical perfection and icy control is a man suffocating under the weight of his name. Can you break through the walls he's spent a lifetime building, or will you become just another clause in a contract he never wanted to sign?
